Musings of the Smart Girl with Pink Hail and High Heels (Near Collision)

Sometimes life can be like a near car crash.
You want to turn right. The light in front of you is a bright red and you check to see if the coast is clear. You glance left and scan the surrounding lanes of traffic. It appears to be clear. You push the gas.
As your car accelerates, you see a truck appear out of thin air, coming straight for you. It’s too late. You are already in the intersection and you just have to go. You pray the other car notices you in your blunder and slams on the breaks.
Your heart is racing, palms sweating. A crash could have just occurred. Your mind races through all the horrible possibilities and you slowly exhale.
In life, we make mistakes. We are rich in mistakes and, most of the time, we harm people when we make those failures. All we can ask for is forgiveness and all we need is to learn from our blunders.
